Chapter 2: the beginning

Sounds of explosions rang everywhere, bullets sing a tragic melody to those who are unlucky, shouting, screaming, wailing, are a beautiful symphony in this chaotic playground.

Burning houses, sounds of fighting are still taking place.

The whole place is like a living hell.

Nations military already had taken the initiatives to advance, progressively cutting every possible escape route for the rebels.

the other side skinny men holding rifle like its part of their body, empty their magazines like crazy. With deadpan eyes and like a soulless body, they were like a zombie who’s already dead and afraid of nothing.

This fight lasted for 3 whole day already, with the shortage of food supply all they can do is fight like madmen.

Arjhin forcing himself to stand yet his command seems off to what his own body can do at the moment he just lay under the piles of dead bodies, held a bloodstained swift knife on his right hand

“shet this place should be safe enough until then, I hope they arrive already haha” he laugh wryly.

*sound of tank approaching*

Nice timing this should be the assault team.

"Hey, I'm he.."

BOOM

A large explosive exploded near his hiding place, the piles of corpse flew everywhere revealing his hiding spot.

What the hell? Must be my lucky day haha. He quickly silence himself for in the next moment a rain of bullets flew.

----

Inside a building a skinny looking men hide behind the window.

“GO" the man shouted while pushing a lever upon seeing that their targets have entered the dead zone.

The c4 that they have planted under a dead body, exploded under an advancing tank.

Rifles emerge from windows and cracks of houses, not giving their enemy time to react.

Rain of bullets flew like flowing water on the center, finishing every last troops of the advancing party.

Roars Thunders on their celebration seeing how they effectively ambush the advancing troops.

A large build man wearing a red beret that seems to be the leader moves toward the destroyed tank.

“No please, no please argh!!” a soldier pleaded seeing an enemy holding trench knife,looking menacing enough.

Without a shred of mercy he cut the head off cleanly.

Arjhin who’s playing dead by the side twitch watching the scene by the side of his eyes, feeling that his body still won’t budge.

I tried to hide my swift knife under a dead body.

“A cat playing dead eh haha” the man wearing a beret saw Arjhin hands move and shouted towards his direction, laugh hysterically.

He moved towards my direction while waving his trench knife which covered in blood.

“Hey man don’t be such a dick. You’re going to kill a kid who can’t even move where’s your honor man, we can talk this out haha”

Knowing my plan is not going to work.

'Come a little more closer' i grip the Swift knife tightly hidden underneath, .

“Brat this is a battle field showing mercy to your enemy is equivalent to suicide so I'll give you a quick death” the man then took out his AK-101 assault rifle and aimed towards his head.

Arjhin curse at how unlucky he was, close his eyes accepting his destiny.

[PLOT ARMOR ACTIVATE. Arjhin shined like a golden Buddha that has achieve nirvana, floating every rebels aimed and triggered their guns towards his direction where bullets flew towards the blinding light never to be seen again. A moment later a baldy in a cape came and one punch me.

Pls don't mind this small skirmish, just me doing something off script haha(*・ω・*)b♪ ]

BANG

Arjhin woke up headfirst below his bed “dreaming again eh” a middle-age man standing beside the door said while buttoning his uniform

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“stop day dreaming and get moving already, you're auntie already opened the shop. Breakfast downstairs”

The man was uncle Gin who’s getting ready for work.

“uncle, I think this dream really did happen. You know like in my past life yeah” Arjhin whose face is bit red from falling stands and reach the bathtowel besides and walks towards the bathroom.

“Son, ill talk this out on your aunt if we should send you to an asylum” nodded, close the door and head downstairs.

"Shet why? Would i be sent to some asylum, IM NOT CRAZY"

"Yeah yeah get it done already breakfast downstairs" Gin shouted back.

Uncle Gin is a people's police yeah the one who give his/her service to the people. Uncle is just 5 years older than aunt, he is not that handsome, average at best but charismatic and friendly,he also has that special charm who could make any women fall for him or so he says.

----

After getting ready i headed downstairs and to see uncle leisurely drinking his coffee while reading a newspaper.

"Uncle, I'll head out first"

"Hey breakfast you can't go to work on empty stomach, I don't want to face wrath of certain someone if I let you go on empty stomach"

"Aish, okay I'll eat on the road"

I immediately grab a bread stuff it with eggs and a cup of hot coffee. As soon as I step outside the light rays of morning sun and refreshing morning breeze. This truly felt a good morning.

Uncle and aunty are the one who took me in. Even though they don't have children on their own but still treated me like their own.

I don't even know where I'm from, I woke up oneday remember nothing except my name that is.

Aunt said they found me on the shore while they were going for a walk.

"Arrive finally, aunt kei good morning"

I greeted upon seeing aunt kei in front of the counter wiping a mug.

"Good morning too jinjin, and how many times do I have to tell you not too call me aunt, I'm not that old yet. You done breakfast?"

Nodding I raised the empty cup,I used for her to see. Then put on the cafe apron to start my day.

Aunt kei is a 30 to 35 year old lady and still looking youthful all this years. Wearing a plain white T-shirt, an brown cafe apron and hair tied in a bun. With the height of 170cm, a pair of glasses.

Yeah Aunty basically looks like a college student on a summer job.

Looking around I found that there's already costumer the usual as always, drinking and reading. I pick up my towel and started wiping some table.

*cling* sound of door chime ring

"Good morning uncle"

----

I headed back towards the counter where aunt kei. Still curious about the grumpy costumer. But I feel like I've seen him before where is it?

"Jinjin, why the long face?"

"Nothing just thinking"

"Why not share the idea to me? Why can't share? Maybe it's about a girl eh, don't you dare lie to me. Now tell me" aunt said raising an eyebrow.

"No no its just the new costumer I feel like I've seen him before?

"That's all? Tsk tsk and here I am thinking our boy is becoming a man. Such a disappointment" shaking her head.

I just smiled at her awkwardly "hehe" and when did this conversation turn around? Is she really mad because it's not about a girl? She looks really disappointed.

After looking at me sharply, she turned around and poured a freshly brewed coffee in a more refined way.

'Shet what should I do' I looked around and run outside, finally I saw white poppy flowers outside so I immediately grab it and returned.

"My ravishing and loving aunt kei, the day are great for a certain someone to just sulk around, right milady?. Pls don't be mad" I said while kneeling on one foot and handing the flowers.

"Jinjin, AW how sweet of you; thank you" she said sweetly while receiving the flowers.

'Wew' thankfully I live to tell the tale.

"Milady, is the coffee ready?" I asked slowly.

Realising she finally snap back to reality, she put the flowers in an empty vase and handed a cup of brewed coffee to me where I received and place in the tray.

"Wait" she stop me midway in lifting the tray, where I halted.

"Bring this, the chiffon I made. Our new product"

'a compliment eh?'

"Wow this looks delicious, milady if there's nothing else I shall excuse my humble self" still acting my way out HAHA.

I made my way upstairs where the grumpy uncle seated.

"Sir I'm very sorry for being rude"

I Said sincerely while placing the coffee over the table.

"No its okay; Life really is simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Right?"

"Confucius? Right sir"

He then looked at me like how'd you know face. Shet is he real trying to act like a great philosopher.

"Sir, I think I've seen you somewhere. have we met before?"

"He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears"

"Michel De Montaigne"

He then smiled profoundly then turn towards the clear blue sky.

Did he just continue his philosophies and then turn away cause I expose him again.

"Hehe" I laugh wryly.

"Sir, I shall excuse myself. Have a great day"

Walking away just to end this awkward conversation. 'Wew' I headed downstairs 'finally'.

"Aunt? Ow ow ow"

Aunt kei pinch me immediately, before I even had the chance to finish. I gave her the what did I do look while caressing my cheeks.

"Do I have to remind you?"

"Haha sorry milady" and finally realizing my mistake.

"Milady the costumer upstairs is really weird his just spouting philosopies of the great Confucius and Michel De Montaigne like he owns them, is there even someone who don't know them? Tsk tsk"

Now aunt gave me the I don't know what you're talking about look.

"And who is Confucius and Michel De Montaigne again?"

"really aunt you really don't know them I might believed you if its just Michel De Montaigne but Confucius is like part of our history" feeling confuse.

Aunt kei grabs a baguette beside her and tried to hit me with the bread. Seeing her movement I Immediately dodge the oncoming attack.

"Jinjin you dared dodge" getting angry again.

"Sorry milady hehe, its just a waste of food if it really hit me you know?"

"Sorry my ass, I'll deduct this on your salary you ungrateful kid, and what's with you and history I think you're just making things up. Who's Confucius? I read so many books more than you can think off, Michel De Montaigne my ass. Try calling me aunt again I'll smack that booty of yours"

"What you really don't know them?"

"I know every famous philosopher from way back till now and don't know what you're talking about. I think there's a problem In your brain, Im really think of sending you to some psychiatrist for some check up this time around. You always says something that dont even exist"

Cling *sound of door chime rings*

"oh a costumer go, do your job and stop bothering me I'm busy yeah? Great"

Nodded I sent myself to received the costumer.
